1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Liver xenotransplantation is a potential strategy to address the shortage of donor livers, either as a temporary bridge to allotransplantation, bridge to native liver recovery, or destination therapy. Advances in genetic engineering and immunosuppression have enabled liver xenografts to evade hyperacute rejection, yet durable graft survival remains elusive. Profound thrombocytopenia, consumptive coagulopathy, and xenotransplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy limit long-term graft survival. Evidence from nonhuman primates, decedents, and recent clinical models suggests that hematologic and physiologic species incompatibilities (in addition to classical immune-mediated rejection) constitute additional barriers to successful liver xenotransplantation. These problems are driven by species-specific platelet-endothelial interactions, dysregulated coagulation factor synthesis, and platelet sequestration within the xenograft. This review synthesizes lessons from decedent and primate xenoliver models, highlighting progress in this area to date, barriers to prolonged survival after liver xenotransplant, and directions for further research.
